[ Charlie understood pack dynamics, although her pack was a lot less.... primitive than his sounded it. She didn't have to start "birthin' babies" when she turned eighteen, she had options. But it helped that her pack had been old and well established, she guessed. Maybe his was one of the newer ones, looking to build their numbers. That or they were super old school.

It wasn't nice to ask so she didn't.]

It's okay, I wouldn't have asked if I didn't care. [ She looks at him for a moment.] My pack had to splinter. We had hunters on our asses and after my mom got killed, my dad moved us away from them. He sent me and my brother here to be safe. [ And safe from the rumored selkie run apocolypse. ]
